The U.S. State Department has removed the name of the Palestinian Authority from the list of definitions of areas in the Middle East, media reported.
The ministry knew the state of Palestine, "The Palestinian Territories", and then changed it to "PA territories" before it was permanently deleted.
This follows efforts by the State Department to remove any reference to the word "occupied territories" and has instructed its embassies around the world to comply with its orders.
According to the sources, the PA´s own name no longer exists on the U.S. State Department website.
